Ideas for wedding crafts to sell. How to make fun products for weddings and bridal showers that are simple craft projects to start a craft business selling handmade wedding items. Awesome wedding decorations, wedding and bridal shower favors and wedding gifts ideas.

Weddings can be a huge money maker if you want to make wedding crafts to sell for extra money.  It’s unbelievable how much money couples spend to make their day extra special.  They look for custom and personalized items that their guests haven’t seen before.  Selling wedding crafts can be great for a craft business because weddings happen all year long although there is a bridal season during the spring and summer when it will be even busier.

There are so many variations on these wedding crafts to sell.  I suggest doing a little research on Pinterest of wedding themes for the items you want to make.  This will give you unique ideas you can use to customize these items by different themes.  Try looking at rustic, country, boho, outdoor, shabby chic, beach, garden, etc.  Making these items customized to a certain theme will make them much more appealing to buyers.  Also, be sure to research what you want to make to be sure it will be a good item for you to be able to sell and make money.

One important thing to remember about selling wedding items is that it will be seasonal.  During the spring and summer will be the busiest time for selling wedding crafts.  Other times of the year may be slower and you’ll want to sell some other items to keep your business busy all year long.  This is the way I keep my handmade shop making money throughout the whole year.
